Problem w/ 2.5.1 and Safari 3.1.1 (post_new.php)

  • I just upgraded from 2.5 to 2.5.1, and everything seemed ok when I logged into the dashboard, but as soon as I clicked the “Write” like to post a new message, I noticed some problems.

    The most noticeable problem is that the “Save” and “Publish” buttons in the write sidebar blink continuously from a dimmed colour to normal colour. And the other problem is that at the bottom of the Safari window where it says “Loading… completed x of x items”, the second number just keeps climbing while the first number keeps trying to catch up. I waited a while to see if the page would eventually fully load, but after the second number got up to 1500, I killed the window and tried writing my post in Camino (which worked fine).

    I tried clearing my cache in Safari to see if that had anything to do with it, but no joy.

  • I was having the same issue, but on Firefox. Nothing I did browser side worked. I even tried re-uploading TINYMCE after I saw it was updated in 2.5.1 to make sure that wasn’t the issue.

    Gabrielz’s trick did the job. Thanks for your awesome help!

    Thanks for posting that fix. Wasn’t sure where to pu it but the top of my file looks like:
    <?php
    if ( !defined( ‘AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL’ ) )
    define( ‘AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL’, 120 );

    Worked great. Thanks!

    Gabrielz’ fix may work, but I found those lines were moved to wp-settings.php, so the setting for AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL must have been made part of the Settings session. Not sure which of the two files takes precedence.

    I would guess that if you had gone into your ‘Settings’ page and simply clicked “update” without any real changes, the wp-settings.php file would have been exercised and that might also have fixed this problem.

    Still, if the Gabrielz fix works, use it.

    As Dan said, the default AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL is moved from wp-admin/includes/admin.php to wp-settings.php in 2.5.1, so before you try Gabrielz’s fix, double check that you’ve actually uploaded the 2.5.1 wp-settings file: Line 341 should read

    define( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 60 );

    If you want to change it, you can set it in your wp-config.php file, where it will be safe from upgrades, e.g.

    define( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 120 );

    Thanks Sam_a
    Your suggestion fixed the problem I was having.
    I discovered that my wp-settings was the old one from WordPress 2.5 So, invariably, I should expect it to be having problem with the other files that are new.
    Thanks.

    Before applying any fixes – please, be sure that you’ve upgraded properly!

    I’ve had the same problem and solved it by carefully uploading again the 2.5.1. Apparently i haven’t uploaded all files correctly the first time.

    I just saw this problem for the first time on somebody’s installation.

    Solution: Reupload the newest wp-settings.php file in the WordPress root directory (along with all the other files, just to be sure).

    This solved it instantly. Make sure that you upload ALL THE FILES when you upgrade.
